NM roadtrip Dec 27-Dec 30

[Luke]

Here's some picture from a roadtrip my wife and I took down to New Mexico over the Christmas/New year holiday. We started out staying at a friends house in Trinidad, CO and then drove down to Taos, NM for a couple days. While in Taos we went to Taos Ski Valley for a little snowboarding. The first few pictures are of us shooting rifles at the NRA Whittington Center near Raton, NM.

NRA Whittington Center Silhouette Range. You can just make out the ram drop under the center number board @ 500m



Ringing the Buffalo at 1100m

Wife hit the buffalo on first shot cold bore of the day.

My buddy shooting his 20" .308 Savage 10FP, McMillan A5, IOR rig.

Northern NM has some beautiful spots. I've lived here for almost 14 years now and Raton Pass is the only place I've seen a bear in the state. Great pics.
